27-inch iMac (2017 Edition)

2017-06-07
in some ways this is a whole new iMac in other ways it's very very familiar that may not be very exciting if you're looking for a dramatic new design from the outside this looks the same as the last several generations of imax no the new updates here are all under the hood still there's a lot that's been amped up most notably the move to Intel's KB Lake CPUs which is the codename we use for the current seventh generation of those core AI chips this 27-inch iMac still has a 5k display but Apple says it's brighter and can now display up to 1 billion colors not all at once of course it also gets an option to move up to 64 gigabytes of RAM which will appeal to high-end content creators the 21.5 inch imax get a similar bump up to 32 gigs a total ram and the same brighter display on the 4k models the built-in AMD Radeon graphics on the 4k and 5k systems get an update to 2 Radeon pro 575 75 and 580 cards and USBC continues its march across the computer universe with the new iMac adding 2 of those ports to the back and Thunderbolt free support the 21.5 inch IMAX now start at $12.99 while the 27-inch models start at $17.99 and if you're looking for even more of an upgrade for an extra 30 bucks you can get the new magic keyboard with a separate number pad you can always just get the plain old keyboard too now before you start saving up for one of these remember that Apple also just teased a brand new iMac the very expensive very high-end Space Gray iMac pro but will have to come back to that one a little later in the year
